fl327 Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 not a racing story i promised no racing until i can get under this bad boy and do mustachebar bushings and a diff mount, but man driving this car around town is a complete joy. at 3k cruising i start making this jet turbine noise, heads a turning everywhere. the other night someguy was like "hey you trying to sell it?" and i said "sure" he said "is it a 240?" (my car has 240z bumpers) and i said no, he was like, how can get that much money for that ( i gave him an outrageous price, really not going to sell this car just yet) and i said "this is why" spooled that turbo up, man its weird, its nnot like my v8 car where you rev it and dump it, i have to pump it up until i start reading close to 0hg, and then pump and dump it, man you would have swore that the car had a v8 (except for the lovely turbine sound) gave that poor guy fifty feet of two legger and barked second, ah just like old times. this was in the Fillmore district deep in the heart of the getlow, right off of haight street, wonder if he thinks i was asking too much now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockjaw Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 We had some fun with my car when my mechanic buddy was driving it after we put the 3 inch exhaust on it. These rednecks were working in this shop down the street from his, so we go down there and he says "check this out". He lets the clutch out at idle and stands on it, and as soon as it hits boost (20 or so psi), it is sideways thru first, he shifts to second and puts down some more rubber and when we come back, they go "where's the bottle?" . HAHAHAHAHA. Turbo's rock man. Turbo's rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
